Prepare to drool. The experts in luxury adventure are expanding their offering from international tours with the launch of A&K Villas.  Under the premise of “where friendships flourish,” A&K’s new Web site allows users to browse drop dead gorgeous rental homes in various European regions including Spain/Portugal, Greece, France and Italy.  They boast a special “recipe” to ensure the A&K experience:

The A&K Villas Recipe:

• Take a fabulous destination, ideally suited to your family/ private party’s needs
• Add an expert team of local A&K Villas staff
• Offer the pick of the best properties in the region – with a range of facilities, sizes and prices
• Ensure those properties are safe, by conducting an annual health and safety audit of each property to check fire, gas, pool and general safety

Additionally, the service provides “finishing touches,” going beyond just setting up housing for your holiday, but arranging activities, like wine tastings, tee times and sightseeing tours. 

The coolest part of this service is the fact that all of these homes are in locations that are off the beaten track.  It facilitates exploration of less touristy areas, and submersion into local culture, a formula for an unbelievable vacation experience. 

Now if only I could afford it…
